Who can do the longest? Obviously Samsung. According to a leak, South Koreans want to update their smartphones for a long time.
That would be a really powerful piece! Samsung already leads manufacturers in providing Android updates as early as possible. According to a leaker, the South Korean company is pulling away from the competition until it’s almost impossible for them to catch up.
It is currently the case that Samsung provides four years of Android updates and five years of security updates for its latest smartphones – whether it’s an expensive flagship or a cheap mid-ranger. As leaker Yash Rathore discovered, Samsung’s mobile phone partner Quasi has also promised new Android versions for a full five years.
Although experience has shown that updates play a more important role in longevity, it is good to hear that spare parts will be available for seven years.
Which smartphones will benefit (if any) is unclear. Yash’s speculation that the next foldable flagships, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, will be the first, seems realistic. However, it is also conceivable that Samsung will then implement the strategy in the Galaxy S24 series models.
Foldables: Promise of an update to Android 18?
It should be said: it may still be an error here. After all, there are five years for security updates, so were the two standards simply mixed up? This is actually unlikely, since “Android version” is clearly mentioned So if foldables come with Android 13, they still have a good chance of Android 18!
What can I say: Samsung does what Samsung does, and Samsung does it incredibly well. So far, there is no manufacturer from the Android camp that can hold a candle to them in terms of software updates. It’s certainly a pity, but on the other hand, Samsung shouldn’t let it slow down.
